The 5 Basic Principles of Scuba Diving. (Be an efficient diver!)
HTML-код

- In this episode Lyell will introduce you to what he calls a "Tasmanian Devil" scuba diver. A diver with very poor form, that significantly affects his efficiency as he dives. Not only does it not look good, but that diver will spend much less time underwater compared to divers who utilize the "5 Basic Principles of Scuba Diving" to their fullest. Scuba divers who use these principles will make for excellent divers, with great efficiency and spend much more time doing what they love. This is the beginning of new series of videos where we will look in depth at each of these principles of scuba diving, and apply them in a “real world” fashion on how we utilize them during an entire dive, from the descent, to the bottom portion of the dive, during your ascent and safety stop, until you safely reach the surface at the end of your dive!

As a surfer and lap swimmer I couldn't help myself from those arm movements in my first couple of dives. But it soon became clear to me that it's about minimum movement, reduced need for air, and maximum efficiency. Still working on how that all comes together. Other thing, was funny how watching the guy late in video calmly commencing his descent from the surface got my heart up with excitement! (pandemic lockdown has been tough)
Lol. Some great points rosco. It does take some practice and patience to slow it all down underwater and also get used to that feeling of descending into deep water! Thanks for you comments! We will work through all of these things in our upcoming series. Hope you stick around to watch them. 👌🙏🏻
This was my daughter until a Red Sea live aboard trip last summer. The divemasters warned that you want to control your buoyancy and keep your hands from flailing all over the place as it could attract sharks and other animals to you. Needless to say that when we started swimming with hammerheads she straightened right up.. ;)
Good stuff! Looking forward to next in the series. I still struggle a little with my kick, so all info on this is appreciated. Thanks!
I love this guys videos. So "to the point" and intellectual.
I look forward to the future Videos, Thanks for the good content...
PADI could learn from this video series. I'm not totally opposed to lecture format buuuut, videos like this reach people and remain in memory far better then what is currently represented. Keep up the videos, and I appreciate the knowledge you give!!!
Thank you for your kind words. Both Josh and Lyell are PADI instructors (Josh is also an SSI Instructor), and both firmly believe regardless of which agency an instructors works for students and divers should all be taught in a thorough and well thought out manner. The quality of the education a diver receives is less about the agency involved and more about the quality of the instructors teaching the courses. We appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos!
Thank you.
Thank you
This channel is amazing
Great video Lyell
+Blue Horizon Diving thank you! I appreciate that coming from you guys!
Great video…love the fish example…I use it too..funny that the jaw fish in the pic over your shoulder is pretty vertical as is the turtle!!😂😂 Excellent video though!
You are right!
This videos are exceptional! Would love to see propulsion coverage, specifically frog kicking
Coming soon!
Bro nailed it with the reenactment 😂😂😂😂
Haha. Thanks! I had to actually practice to get that right! Lol.
We just had a Divemaster come to us like that. Omg
I was the Tasmanian devil when I was first went through the open water portion of the diver
I feel attacked lol thank you for the tips!
Hey there did you already make the other videos in this series? If you did I don't see the link for them
John those videos are made but will be released one by on over the next few months. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
@@everythingscuba This is the era of Netflix Binge watching! LOL. Looking forward to them, but "months" might loose my attention span. BTW: I enjoyed the video!
@@derickdevindavis totally get it Derick but we have lots of other content coming. Don’t give up on us yet! Thanks for watching our channel!
Weighting. If your diving aluminium tanks, most of you over weight yourself to stop shooting to the surface. This is fine, but if you ever have a BCD failure, your going to the bottom. Fast!
Instructors need to explain and teach balanced rigs.
Sir can you teach us about Halftime
This demo diver is very experienced. Wing BCD, SMB etc
That’s because the demo diver is Lyell. Only doing a demonic what we see sometimes from newer student (and some certified) divers. :)
Hahaha I asume you are not the diver on the photo. "walking" on front of that shipwreck
I just saw a fish last week swimming straight up like this: ⬆xD
Lol. Very true some fish….for example Trumpet Fish try to disguise themselves by hanging vertically but if you watch closely as they swim quickly, they become horizontal. Thanks for you comment!
@@everythingscuba I don't know why the fish did it. I guess it saw something to eat 🤔😅
There is an "s" to Jacques-Yves Cousteau!
+Sébastien Lepage yup. We are aware.
"That diver", is painful. I also fix that crap from the start. I hate to see people diving inefficiently.
Strange he had no suggestions regarding to what do with arms
If you're looking for some:
Some people keep them to their sides, many people have their hands crossed in front of them so they can see their computer. In the beginning I would keep mine in my pockets unless I was looking at a gauge or my comp so I'd stop using them.
I thought he was intentionally dancing underwater 😳
Looks like the guy was having fun to me it's his dive let him be
Don't listen to this dive how ever you feel comfortable but always be safe....
+H Dunbavan hard to be safe diving like that.
Everything Scuba don't judge by your impeccably high standards understand what works for you may not work for the next person
@@hdunbavan4844 that’s true but there is no reason you shouldn’t try to continuously improve. And yes as an instructor I believe we al should have impeccably high standards for our students. Based on your comment “dive however you feel”…..what if I felt like diving with 20 extra pounds that I don’t need and put them in my pockets because I feel better that way? Be careful of the statements you make and how they might be interpreted is all I’m saying. Thanks for watching.
Everything Scuba oh behave yourself and don't put words in my mouth as in your last statement
@@hdunbavan4844 You're being ridiculous. You think it's fun running out of air in 20 minutes of frantic bicycling and waiving around? Guys like this stop diving and that's that.
